Top 10 Posters Display

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This simple hack displays a page with the Top 10 Forum Posters for the last day, 7 days, 28 days and overall.

No vB files need to be edited. The instructions (txt file), the php file, and a screenshot are attached.

A vB Advanced module is also now available for this (thanks to dsboyce8624) - just d/l the zip file.

Sorry, I know nothing about vbadvanced - the module was done by dsboyce8624 - and it looks like he cannot help you either.

O.K. I installed this and it's there. but it does nothing. All I need to know is where and how do I do step 4
Step 4.

If you don't already have an index on the dateline field in the post table then you should add one ;

ALTER TABLE post ADD INDEX (dateline)
Can someone tell me where and how do I do this? Thanks for any and all helpful reply's!!!

You do exactly as you were told here ;

FYI: Step 4 is not a requirement to make it work, just make it faster. If it "does nothing" then you have done something wrong. That said, what exactly do you mean by "does nothing" - what are you doing to view it, and what do you see (and what is the url of your site as you haven't set it in your profile .....).

I tried....as I was told in my admin. It said I do not have permission. Well, it's my site and I'm the only admin, so this is why I'm asking questions. Sorry if they're elementary to you. They are not to me.

Looking at you site, you don't appear to have actually uploaded the topposters.php file.

http://www.blastology.net/topposters.php gives a 404 not found error.

I used the cmps version. That's why I gave my address, so people could see it. It's the first page you will go to and it's in the middle on the bottom,doing nothing

oh yeah I added the topposters.php too it's blank
